Hi there!

I sent off my packet (I-130, I-485, I-693, I-765, I-864) on September 30th with UPS overnight & it arrived in Chicago, IL on October 1st.. Now I'm waiting to hear from them, checks haven't been cashed yet either, which makes me kinda nervous, because I see so many timelines where the checks were cashed after 4-7 days.. Ah well, guess I'm still good for a few more days.

Did anyone else file in October so far? Let's compare timelines :)
 
Hey,

I sent in my forms on October 1st (Friday), they received it on the 3rd. I'll be calling the bank to verify if they cashed the checks or not. I used a cashier's check from the bank. I have limited money in my account, and I didn't want to end up spending money that could cause checks to be bounced/returned.

I've filed (I-130, I-485, I-693, I-765, I-864).. Here is a link to my post detailing it all.

I'm kinda worried that your checks haven't cashed yet. Mine might not be cashed though, but I'll try and find out.

Edit: So unsurprisingly, the checks aren't cashed yet. I would assume yours would go through first before mine. Unless cashier checks go through a faster process than personal checks.

As long as they get cashed before the 14 day mark I think we should be fine.. The waiting is just sooo hard, I am so ready to get this over with!
Did you send off the electronic notification form too? Monday is a holiday, so we will have to wait until tuesday at least if they don't get cashed today.. how depressing lol.
 
Oh shoot! Forgot about Columbus Day.. Yeah.. Tuesday I guess it is. And yes, I sent off my e-notification form. I attached it to the front of I-130.

I added email and text messaging, and in my email I filtered it out so that it gets forwarded to my phone as text messages. Hehe.. don't want any chance to miss any information.
 
Good news! I just got a text message, they are sending out the Notice of Action for my forms! Yay!!

Also, I have a question.. Is it normal/bad that my application has been routed to the National Benefits Center for processing?

Hi Everyone,
Just received my receipts for the I-485 and I-765. Wish everyone the best of luck and hope that we will support everyone as best as we can in this gruelling journey.
 
Just got 3 text messages and emails for Acceptance Confirmation. I have 3 case numbers assigned to me. Awaiting I-797 by mail.
 
I am now starting to get worried that my checks have not been cashed yet.. its already been 8 business days!
 
Personal Checks can take sometime to appear on your online bank statement. Also, on the same day I checked whether my checks were cashed or not, I received the text messages and email to confirm form acceptance. I got the text and emails at about 7:30pm EST.
 
Thanks! I didnt know about the email notification form when I sent my application to USCIS..so I will have to wait for my NOA in regular mail.
 
Guys, This is my time line!
